Great message! I’m glad you are talking! and super glad you were smart enough to talk to someone when your friends and co-workers weren’t willing to talk about colon cancer.

Thanks for the excellent message! One of our local hospitals has a cancer treatment center, and last night was the annual Bra Ha Ha. The men on the hospital foundation board all wore ties, the print of which was little pink bras. The strides made in breast cancer research and treatment are due in part to the success of the pink ribbon campaign. Breast cancer awareness has heightened awareness of other cancers too. It’s all for the good. Keep up the good talk!

Thanks, Tee and Missie! I really never wanted to be the person to have two different forms of cancer. But if I have to be that person, I definitely want to be the one who survives both (and really, really, really don’t want a third!). I now just want to do what I can to help others get the earliest diagnosis possible.

Tee: We talk a lot about heroes and heroines on this site in our message boards, blogs and whatever. To me, the true heroes and heroines are the everyday people we all know who have triumphed over their personal challenges—challenges that they never asked for, but were presented with just the same. So, congratulations to you, LinnieGayl, and thank you for being up-front with this topic so that we can see that battles are being won and that being aware is the first step.

Here, here, Tee!

Linnie, the “breast cancer envy” totally makes sense. It’s the movement that kind of kicked things off and so is ahead in society’s consciousness. The others are gaining ground, though, slowly but surely.

And I am grateful every day that you are here to remind us. Thank you for starting the conversation and thank you for keeping it going. *hugs*

Most families do not escape at least one bout with cancer. Becoming afraid and trying to sweep it into a corner just doesn’t work. Being on the offensive gives us opportunities to try to prevent many forms of it. But even when that fails, and one is diagnosed with cancer, then all the heroes and heroines we have known personally come to the forefront in our minds and we realize how much support there is and we have true and good examples to follow. And all the positive examples include not being afraid to discuss it as the #1 item.
